Make rustc use `RUST_BACKTRACE=full` by default #93566

Aaron1011 · 2022-02-02T00:32:02Z

Compiler panics should be rare - when they do occur, we want the report
filed by the user to contain as much information as possible. This is
especially important when the panic is due to an incremental compilation
bug, since we may not have enough information to reproduce it.

This PR sets RUST_BACKTRACE=full inside rustc if the user has not
explicitly set RUST_BACKTRACE. This is more verbose than
RUST_BACKTRACE=1, but this may make it easier to debug incremental
compilation issues. Users who find this too verbose can still manually
set RUST_BACKTRACE before invoking the compiler.

This only affects rustc (and any tool using rustc_driver::install_ice_hook).
It does not affect any user crates or the standard library -
backtraces will continue to be off by default in any application
compiled by rustc.

I think this is a sensible change.
